Trade was heavy in wholesale lines TO-
day with fair movement in retail bust
ness.
The produce market is somewhat over
stocked and prices are weak. The quail
ity of apples and oranges is poor with
prices tending downward, but better
quality of fruit would bring good figures
FINANCIAL.
During the past week the New YORK.
stock market has been extremely dull and
spiritless. Interest has centered in few
special stocks, and the activity shown
was mainly dependent upon transactions
by traders and manipulators. The dis.
position both of the public and the lead.
ing operators is to keep out of the market
until the interstate commerce bill is dis.
posed of, and, ii made law, until its &C.
tusl effects are more Clea ely defined. The
bear element make use Of this and Other
arguments, such as the Nickel Plate de-
cision, with which they have been lately
furnished, as reasons for a present de-
cline in values. 1t is not, however,
thought that the short interest outstand-
ing is an extraordinarily heavy one, and
the appearances favor the idea that the
bear party limit their activity to express
sions of opinion, while of course they are
prepared to inaugurate a free selling
should the market give evidence of seri-
Gus instability. This, however, is not
apparent. In fact beneath all the heslta-
ton there is still strong undercurrent
of strength, with more or less belief in
the permancy of bull market if the ex-
listing unfsvorable influences were re-
moved.
During the week there has been con
siderable selling Of stocks for London
account. the market there being in the
main slightly lower than our own. This
in measure assisted in keeping our mar
ket fiat, and the resulting purchases of
exchange By the foreign houses forced
the rates for sterling bills 10 figures
which might, under slightly increased
pressure, lead to an outward movement
of the gold so recently returned to US. To
some extent this selling by London was
stimulated by the happening of the fort
nightly settlement, and it is thought that
for the most part the transactions repre-
sented arbitrages based on the relatively
higher market here rather than any gen
eral movement to unload "Ameri-
can" held for bull account. 1t
would indeed seem that the feeling
with regard to our securities there
has not changed in any unfavorable sense
in spite of the natural liability to misuu-
Itderstand the effect of the pending action
of congress regarding railroad interests
In tact, americans" are in as high es-
TEEN as ever. The political outlook in
Europe, however, at this moment nee
esssriIy depresses all the financial cen
tiers. The effect of Prince Bismarck s
speech has been felt in the London and
continental stock and money markets.
The unsettled feeling it arouses must nee
essarily affect values and check activity,
subject, Of course, to the threatening con-
ditions being aliayed, in which event
american" securities will share largely
in the improvement. At the moment,
however, the influences in this connection
are not favorable, and the feeling pre-
dominant in the foreign money centers
cannot fsil to be felt here for the time at
least
